"A large ad seen on the street featured the slogan "Smoking will kill you slowly". Under it, someone helpfully tagged the subtext ("We're not in a hurry"). "

Do you idiots really believe that an ad that flat out says "SMOKING WILL KILL YOU" is a veiled smoking ad just because "SLOWLY" is affixed to the end? I know you get an erection when you think you've spotted some lie and get to feel like you're smarter than everyone else, but really, think these things through a little.

I'd think it's still counts, even if it didn't have slowly end. Smokers honestly don't seem to care that smoking could kill them.

Idiots? I'd consider the person who jumps straight to insults more of an idiot.

It says " smoking will kill you adding "slowly " to the end of that doesn;t change the sentiment.

You can't sell a product by saying it will kill you, so saying that a billboard that says smoking will kill you is a commercial for smoking is patently ridiculous.

You will need to Get Known in order to post a reply.
